I know, I will probably be told I need better pictures. Unfortunately my phone sucks at taking them. Anyway - I got this dime as a "freebie" in an auction I won. It was labeled broadstroke dime. The left of the coin rim is a lot higher and more visible than the right.

As far as the pennies go they all are the same "error" where the rim isn't equal all the way around. It's more obvious on the bottom two coins..the 77 has a much fatter rim on the bottom part. The 98 basically has no rim on the right side of the coin.

Are these considered errors?

Those are all misaligned die strikes (MAD). If you flip the coins over and they are out of alignment in the same area, then they're called off center strikes.
Rest in Peace

Both a broadstrike error and an off centered error are struck without the collar die. The collar die forms the edge of the coin so on your dime in order to be a broadstrike it will not have reeding on the edge. Your one cent coins appear to be slightly misaligned dies like profiler said. They don't have a premium until the design goes off the coin. But you can have slight misalignment on both sides so this isn't conclusive to an off centered strike. Since an off centered strike is struck out of the collar, for coins with a reeded edge there will not be reeding around the circumference of the coin and on unreeded coins I would first check the diameter expecting it to be oversize.
